Note that the inclusion of "information activists" on this list makes the scope extremely broad.

This website is pretty awful without an Adblock (on mobile). Couldn’t even get through 3 paragraphs.

The road to authoritarianism is always an easy one-way street. The road back is hard, uphill, and soaked with blood.

We've asked you many times to stop posting unsubstantive comments to HN. Cheap ideological warfare complete with a call for political violence? and a tedious cliché at the same time? Obviously not what this site is for. No more of this please, regardless of what you're for or against.

that was not a call to anything! It is a historical analysis. I am happy to cite my sources.

Isn't assuming best intentions one of the rules here?

Sorry for misinterpreting you. Still, please don't post generic ideological comments to HN.

Weird comment...

I agree, if the bar for reading comprehension includes an inability to distinguish a truism from a statement of fact.

Maybe so, but that isn't enough. It also needs not to be trite and shallow. Note this guideline:

"Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."

There's tons of previous explanation if you skip over the trivial bits in https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que....
